I don’t know what it is, but it seems like hicks/rednecks (country folk) are the same everywhere you go. How do you come up with this stuff? It’s got to be the booze and the boredom, those are the two constants in all every part of the world.
Diimak sent this my way the other week. It’s blindfolded children’s Muay Thai! Seriously… I know when viewed through the prism of our western eyes this can seem pretty effed, that’s because it is! Ok at least they’ve got head gear on.

I came across this vid the other day, completely made my day. For those of you who’ve been reading this blog a while, you know I’ve got a long standing obsession with Sensei.
Anyway, I’ve gotten so much enjoyment from it, I didn’t want to deprive you of that same pleasure, enjoy!
Thanks for all of your kind words… anyway back on topic. So let’s start off with the Giorgio and Naruepol… many thanks to Gusnark for passing this along. Also many thanks to yamabushigym for taking the time to upload and share with us.
